"Madison Floral & Landscape Solutions treats your yard as if it is their own! It's so refreshing to do business with people who genuinely care about their work. When he arrived to survey the situation and provide his estimate, Edison took his time, answered my questions and offered solid suggestions. He and Rocco and his crew showed up on time and worked diligently transforming our back yard into a thing of beauty. No stone was left unturned. The clover and crabgrass has been replaced with a beautiful lawn of Kentucky Blue Grass and two garden beds . We cannot wait for Spring! Thank you, Edison, Rocco, et al."

"I was completely blown away by the work that we had done. Lisa, who was the designer was very attentive and quick to return emails and really put a lot of thought into my project. She always responded to emails within an hour and was very honest with me when it came to ideas that i had for the project. She provided a detailed drawing of my property with her ideas for plantings, stepping stones, etc. this made my life very easy by not having to imagine what she was thinking. PJ, who was the foreman on the job was also a great guy and on top of things. He always had my best interests in mind when giving his opinion about grading the yard and what would be best for my children, which was my highest priority. Walter was one of the workers who did a lot of the grading and he was also in constant communication with me. Walter and PJ came up with, and implemented a swing-set area that doubled as a retaining wall to bring up the grade on the lower side of my yard and it came out amazing. We had some irrigation issues at first because some areas were being over-watered. Nick, who was in charge of the irrigation came out to my house multiple times, after all of the work had already been paid for, to make sure that my timers were taken care of and the grass remained in tip-top shape. After paying in full, I still got immediate responses from all parties in this company and they provided immediate solutions within a day or two. They could have put me on the back burner to handle current customers, but they remained attentive to my needs. I plan to use them for cleanups and for all of my fertilizing. I highly recommend this company to everyone."

"4/15/2022 We are absolutely satisfied with Roberto’s Affordable Landscaping . The work they recently completed in our backyard is outstanding. Our yard needed so much work. Branches, leaves, mulching and more. It was a mess. Roberto and his crew in one day turned our yard into an organized and beautiful place. My husband and I are so thrilled that we keep walking around our yard looking at the amazing work they did! Roberto and his crew went beyond, without asking for more money, and did additional chores for us! They even transplanted my Hydrangea bushes to a better place in our yard! They are honest, dependable, and hardworking and did all of this for a reasonable price. It is obvious that Roberto and his crew take considerable pride in their work and genuinely care about each customer they service. Do not look any further, hire Roberto’s Affordable Landscaping!"

"Needed a fairly rapid response for a yard cleanup to beat upcoming snow. Our usual landscaping company just didn t show up this fall when scheduled and had been promising for over six weeks to do the work. MSL contacted me less than hour after I submitted my job to Home Advisor, made the estimate that afternoon and did an outstanding job the next day. Their price was very good. They are now my landscaping company!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.
